Hyderabad : State government adviser K.V.P. Ramachandra Rao, a confidant of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, is planning to sue TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu for accusing him of land grabbing. Mr. Rao would serve a legal notice on Mr. Naidu on Wednesday.

During a visit to Nadargul on the outskirts on Monday, Naidu had charged Reddy and Rao with grabbing government land. Sources said Rao had warned that he would take action against Naidu for the “malicious campaign”.

Ramachandra Rao had earlier served notice on TD leader Kodela Sivaprasada Rao, forcing the latter to retract his remark that the adviser was “acting like AP’s Jayalalitha and amassing wealth.”
